Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the

device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality should not be

assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

1. These ratings are based on a maximum junction temperature of 150°C.

2. These are steady−state limits. ON Semiconductor should be consulted on

applications involving pulsed orlow−duty cycle operations.
